Garnier from L’Oréal is the first mass market skin care brand to
achieve Cradle to Cradle Silver certification for five products in its
Skinactive Line, including Deep Pore Facial Cleanser with Green
Tea, Refreshing Facial Cleanser with Aloe Juice, Soothing Cleansing
Milk with Rose Water, Deep Pore Exfoliating Face Scrub with Green
Tea and Refreshing Cream Cleanser with Aloe Juice. The certification
from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute and
MBDC measures material health, material reutilization, renewable
energy, carbon management, water stewardship and social fairness
practices. The products, manufactured in Franklin, NJ and part of
L’Oréal’s Sustainable Product Optimization Tool (SPOT) program,
were created with 100% renewable electricity, vessel cleaning systems
that use less water and sustainable packaging with 50% post-consumer
recycled (PCR) plastic. Garnier is L’Oréal USA’s third brand to
gain this certification and joins Biolage and Kiehl’s. “There goes that aerosol space Pepsi again!”
